I never make a true "pot roast" - that is, done on the stove or in the oven. I always use my crock pot. I guess I never had a good recipe for doing it the other way. I just put carrots & potatoes in the crock with the meat. I usually sprinkle the meat with 1 - 2 Tbl Kitchen Bouquet/Gravy Master & then with 1 - 2 tsp beef bouillon. If add water if the roast is still frozen or I want a good amount of gravy.
Does anyone else do their roast the traditional way? Does it turn out as tender as when it's done in the crock?
Robin - which recipe did you end up using? Did it turn out good for you? I just remembered I have the recipe from the Prime Time Cafe at MGM.
